I do hope it's optional, I actually don't like smooth scrolling.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was no option in the preferences for it, but I'd imagine at the very least it will remain as a flag and/or the --disable-smooth-scrolling command line switch.

It's enabled by default in Canary (and likely Chromium too), but I can still disable it in chrome://flags for the time being. It's quite annoying - it'd be fine if it was more like IE/Edge's smooth scrolling, but I hate how slow it is (Firefox's too, actually). So I just leave it disabled.

It maybe down to your mouse if you think it is slow then as i am using a Logitech and it is lightning fast as always.

What's your problem with it? Have you tried creating an issue on their issue tracker about what's bugging you?

in linux it may act differently to windows but i do not like it, what i dont like about it, it doesnt open up in a New Tab Window Like Opera when you download in that browser.  but again i use Firefox mostly at the moment for Downloads .  ( download Manager's are better in firefox ) 

 

no i havent created a ticket about it

Smooth scrolling will be on by default in 49  https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/02/smooth-scrolling-in-chrome-49

 

" The old, stepped scrolling behavior is going away, and scrolling will be smooth by default! "

 

I assume they will still keep the flag around though.

    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.

      Why not just bring back Outlook Express at this point? It did everything I needed as a home email app.

      No we just do it manually, our contact methods are calls, chats and e-mails. Whoever is doing the e-mail task for the day, deals with the e-mail, logs the appropriate ticket, adds the reference to the source e-mail and then files it in the appropriate folder. At least that's how it's supposed to work
